This is the last part of my Madonna picspam, this is only about her life performancies, from 1985 til 2008.
And this is the hardest part, because putting into words what happens when she's on stage is impossible. She's a born entertainer, she was definitely born to be who she is now. There's an increduible power coming from her and seeing her performing live is a true MAGIC. She could make you forget about eveything else, because that is the exact thing she enjoyes the most and you could just tell she's having the time of her life while performing and she's giving her best. I've seen her performing live 6 times. (* to te concerts I saw in the picspam) I can think of only one word to describe these concerts: INTENSE. But let the pics and her quotes speak, because I just fail.

"My concerts are always my escape. I get onstage and I just forget everything but the music and the audience. The minute the lights go out, I'm back to....well, reality."


"Every time I do a show, I die a little bit, but no shit is worth doing unless you're willing to die for it."


Live out your fantasy here with me
Just let the music set you free


"Well, there's one thing you can't download and that's a live performance. And I know how to put on a show, and enjoy performing, and I'll always have that."


Music can be such a revelation
Dancing around you feel the sweet sensation


When all else fails and you long to be
Something better than you are today
I know a place where you can get away
It's called a dance floor, and here's what it's for


Get up on the dance floor, everything is groovin'
Get up on the dance floor, got to see you movin'
Let the music shake you, let the rhythm take you
Feel it in your body


Everybody wants to shine
Don't stand in the sideline, step into the light
But it's got to come from inside
Listen to your heart and step into the spotlight


But if you insist, babe, the challenge delights me.
The more you resist, babe, the more it excites me.
And no one I've kissed, babe, ever fights me again.
If you're on my list, it's just a question of when


Only when I'm dancing can I feel this free
At night I lock the doors, where no one else can see


I'm the perfect example...that you can be whatever you want to be. So dream the impossible dream"


"When Madonna is on stage she does rule the world. I never get tired of watching Madonna perform. She's a natural and one of the few artists who is completely comfortable and at home on a stage."
Liz Rosenberg


I'm in a trance
And the world is spinning
Spinning baby out of control
I'm in a trance
I let the music take me
Take me where my heart wants to go


Express yourself, don't repress yourself


You could take all this, take it away
I'd still have it all
'Cause I've climbed the tree of life, and that is why
No longer scared if I fall


*"My fans are the best- they have stuck with me through thick and thin, I would not be where I am today without them."


*I'm gonna avoid the cliché
I'm gonna suspend my senses
I'm gonna delay my pleasure
I'm gonna close my body now


*You only see what your eyes want to see


*It's time for the good times
Forget about the bad times
One day to come together
To release the pressure
We need a holiday


"I laugh at myself. I don't take myself completely seriously. I think that's another quality that people have to hold on to... you have to laugh, especially at yourself. I do it in most of the things I do, and most of the videos that I make and most of my performances. Even in my concerts there are so many moments when I just stood still and laughed at myself."


I wanna dance tonight, dance tonight
Don't need no diamonds and pearls
So take a chance tonight, chance tonight
Let's prove ourselves to the world


Let your body take a ride
Feel the beat and step inside
Music makes the world go 'round
You can turn your troubles upside down


When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there


*Now I can tell you about success, about fame
About the rise and the fall of all the stars in the sky
Don't it make you smile
Let it will be
Just let it be


*A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned
'Til then
It will burn inside of me


*Dance is a lovely friend
Dance to your heart's content
Dance and we don't pretend
Dance is your only friend


"This is not only entertainment, this is revolution."


*What are you waiting for
Nobody's gonna show you how
Why wait for someone else to do what you can do right now


*"It's that old cliché, when the world gets you down, you need to be lifted up. Look at the state of the world. People need to be inspired and happy."


*Don't sit there like some silly girl
If you wait too long it'll be too late
I'm not telling you something new
There ain't no time to lose
It's time for you to celebrate


*You don't have the luxury of time
You have got to say what's on your mind
Your head lost in the stars
You'll never go far
[No time to lose]
It's time for you to read the signs


*Get into the groove
Let me show you some moves
It's best to take it from me
Get up on your feet
Let me step to the beat
Show you how it should be


*As quiet as it is tonight
You'd almost think you were safe
Your eyes are full of surprises
They cannot predict my fate


*Move your body
Catch from across the floor
Everybody's watching
I just want to give you more
Don't care about nothing
I'm falling for your love in the worst way
